Spiritual Songs in New Wave or Rock

[ben_at_work]

I always Liked Spirit in the Sky.
What are some other songs that sing praise to a higher power. Songs that really lift you up where you belong?

1. Spirit in the Sky- Norman Greenbaum
2. My Sweet Lord - George Harrison

[abacab66]

Let it Be - The Beatles
Suppers Ready - Genesis

Here are a few that mention God, Jesus, praying, etc. in a (probably) not-too-disrespectful way:

U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday
"the victory Jesus won"

Led Zeppelin - Heartbreaker
"rollin' along with the grace from the Lord above"

Sonny & Cher/Ramones/Tom Petty et al. - Needles and Pins
"get down on my knees and pray that they go away"

U2 - Mysterious Ways
"better learn how to kneel - on your knees boy"

Eurythmics - Missionary Man
"he's got the saints and apostles backin' him up from behind"

Byrds/Doobie Brothers et al. - Jesus is Just Alright
"Jesus, he's my brother"

Talking Heads - Slippery People
"The Lord won't mind"

Frank J. Wilson & the Cavaliers/Pearl Jam - Last Kiss
"The Lord took her away from me"

I believe that Toyah's "Danced" is about Jesus. Although with Toyah, you can never be too sure...

Hey, someone go to promise keepers this weekend or go see Davinci's Code?
Nothing wrong with the "Christian" or "spiritual" topics.
They kind of make me cringe, as they are kind of personal and outside alot of peoples comfort zone. I will try not to be defensive and respectful.
